- Hold down Shift + Alt and left mouse button to move it around. If you found a nice place for it, release Shift + Alt to stop moving. If you release Shift + Alt while you are still moving the minimap, it will get clamped to your mouse ( /rl will fix it). Just don't release Shift + Alt until you placed it. ;)

To correct the issue where a circular dead zone prevents mouse interaction with most of the map, add the following line to dMinimap.lua (it should work anywhere, I have it on line 293 before the mouse definitions):

I would like to set the default position to BOTTOMRIGHT but changing this in the Lua doesnt seem to do anything. Any advice?

It does work for new characters. It doesn't for characters you logged onto with the map loaded before. Since the position of the map will be saved in "layout-local.txt" (see descrpition), the first time you log in with the addon enabled. You can either delete that file (note that it might contain the position of other frames, too that will be deleted, too) or edit (notepad, wordpad, ...) it and remove just the lines that contain the minimap position. Either way, this has to be done with wow being closed, at least logged out (login screen).

If you don't want to go through this, you can always move the map ingame with alt + left mouse button.
